Lunacy, Alaska - population 506 - is Nate Burke's last chance. As a Baltimore cop, he'd watched his partner die - and the guilt still haunts him. Maybe serving as Chief of Police in this tiny, remote town, where darkness falls by mid-afternoon and temperatures fall to zero and below, will bring some kind of solace. It isn't as if he has anywhere else to go. Meg Galloway, born and raised here, is used to being alone. She was still a young girl when her father disappeared, and she's learned to be independent, flying her small plane, living on the outskirts with just her huskies for company. But after her New Year's kiss with the Chief of Police, she allows herself to give in to passion. She doesn't want commitment - but there's something about Nate's sad eyes that gets under her skin, and warms her frozen heart. And now, things in Lunacy are heating up. Because years ago, on one of the majestic mountains that shadow the town, a crime occurred that is unsolved to this day - and Nate suspects that a killer still walks the snowy streets. His investigation will bring out the secrets and suspicions that lurk beneath the placid surface...
